Once again I feel and share in your pain 🙄 It certainly feels a lot less crushing & personal the second time, but rejections, especially for fairly hefty much needed grants, are never nice. So I now either need to sell quite a lot of my artwork (which would be lovely) or find alternative ways to fund my art & pay bills... 💗💗💗 (216/365) #photoadaychallenge #art #artwork #abstract #abstractart #artscouncil #funding #grants #rejection

'Boutique Layout' - 2021 Collage, acrylic, inks a 'Boutique Layout' - 2021 Collage, acrylic, inks and gel print on paper 42 x 30cm Making my artwork happens in many different ways. Sometimes I have a rough plan. Sometimes I just play and see where the art takes me. I have good days, I have bad days. Then sometimes the artwork just appears with zero effort... This particular piece started life as a quick ten minute demo in one of my art classes, just to show how I often start with a collage. It was then slid back into my sketchbook... I got it out again months later when I was showing a class how I add acrylic & inks onto my collage work. Once more it was hidden away in my sketchbook. It reappeared months later when I wanted something to experiment with during a gel printing session. Only to be returned to my sketchbook. I then decided to drag this once more from my sketchbook during a recent Zoom class. Maybe it's time I finally did something with this. Maybe I could actually make something out of all these little demo experiments... And in the end I did nothing. I left it as it was. I listened to people in my class who insisted the artwork was already finished... So there you go. Artwork with practically zero thought or planning 💗😄💗 #art #collage #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #paper #artist #fineart #fineartist #acrylic #ink #brusho #artwork #gelpress

So, after a 15 year break, it was time to revisit my beloved oil paints 💗 This was done using Daler Rowney water based oils. I'd never used water based oils before. I'd also frowned upon them a wee bit, but these were surprising nice to use 🙂 http://www.stephcoley.com http://www.facebook.com/StephanieSianColeyFineArtist Comments, likes, shares & subscribers are always welcomed 💗 ______ Music: Someday Musician: Alexander Delarge URL: https://icons8.com/music

Another of my Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Week challenges, with this week's lovely sitter Clare Balding. As with all of my others, this is done in ink pen & acrylic, on top of some appropriately found collage pieces...
